I’m tired of constantly being just a friend. It seems like any relationship I have with a potential partner or even just a woman whom I can see a future with ends as “just friends” or they find someone else, shutting down any further pursuit of a relationship. Don’t get me wrong, having friends is great. However the more I see how amazing a strong romantic relationship can be, the more I want it. But I’m on nobody’s radar and I wouldn’t know where to start to find a girl who could be interested in dating a dude like me.
I’m a 32M who developed much later in life than the average person. The average being 17-21. So I have virtually zero relationship experience, casual or serious. I wasn’t ready for dating anyone at 21 but that’s usually when you want to date to get that experience. I kick myself everyday that I couldn’t be this mature 10 years ago rather than now when it feels too late to start.
I don’t want to go on dating apps anymore. Spending $30 a month just to see who matched you isn’t worth it to me. Can anyone give recommendations how to meet someone naturally? I don’t do clubs and I just drink socially. I don’t think I could do singles meet and greets since it feels less of a way to meet women and more like a way to be judged by women.
